Midnight Pool Party is made up of Darren Morilla & Oliver Dela Cruz, a Sydney-bred duo known for their infectious blend of dance, disco, R&B, and hip-hop, drawing comparisons to Disclosure, Hayden James, and Cosmo’s Midnight.
Originally rooted in classic disco, Midnight Pool Party quickly evolved into a dynamic nu-disco/electro-house sound, continuously pushing boundaries while experimenting with vocal styles and genre fusion. Their signature style fuses lush synths, groovy basslines, playful melodies, and irresistibly catchy vocal hooks—bringing an undeniable energy to every track.
In 2017, they dropped their debut EP, Dalliance, earning global recognition and featuring the standout track With You, which landed a placement in the STAN series The Rook.
2020 saw the duo dive deeper into sonic experimentation, blending disco, pop, hip-hop, and R&B influences. This creative freedom led to the release of Nonchalant, a genre-bending track inspired by Kaytranada, Disclosure, and Hayden James, followed by BANG BANG, a high-energy future-house banger influenced by Disclosure, Sofi Tukker, and Duke Dumont.
In 2021, Midnight Pool Party retreated for a writing getaway, emerging with a fresh batch of tracks, including CREAM, NO NAMES, POTENTIAL, and TRUTH. After a brief break in 2022, they returned with two disco-house anthems, DON’T KILL MY VIBE and ICON ENERGY.
Keeping the momentum going, the duo embarked on another writing retreat in early 2023, crafting a collection of tracks that would define their next chapter. Songs like ON YOUR MIND, STAMINA, BADDIE ERA, USE ME, ONE DAY, and BOYS LIKE YOU dropped throughout 2023 and 2024, further cementing Midnight Pool Party’s reputation for delivering dancefloor-ready grooves with an irresistible edge.
2025 is already off to an exciting start with two disco-inspired offerings FIDELITY and WHAT AM I GONNA DO?, and with their unshakable commitment to making people move, Midnight Pool Party continue to push the boundaries of modern electronic music.
